JCCB doesn't look at history merely in a scholarly context of ceramic art history as a discipline. Rather, the biennale hopes to look at the history of clay and ceramic media usage within the wider art practice. In other words, clay and ceramics will be placed in a context separate from their categorical boundaries (or burdens). The reality of history demonstrates the fact that clay and ceramic-based media cannot be confined within aesthetic categories as formulated by modern art. Furthermore, clay and ceramic media continue to draw the attention of artists from diverse backgrounds and practice. This historical legacy becomes JCCB's main motivation to continue to invite the involvement of artists from diverse backgrounds. More >   PHOTOGRAPHY The Tree of Life Photo exhibition by Elisabetta Zavoli 9 December 2016 - 10 February 2017 "The tree of life" is a personal photo exhibition of photographer Elisabetta Zavoli, who has portrayed for the last 4 years, fishermen communities on Java coasts who are restoring mangroves on their land.
